Abstract:
The dissatisfaction of the literary education was first embodied in the un-literaturization in the literary reading.The literary reading of the people who are educated lacks the classics,drifts with the tide.They only skim and pursue the sense stimulation.The literary works are driven by the primitive desire and lack the aesthetic abilities,the ideal spirits and the reflection of the bright and great ideals pursuit.The second manifestation is the un-literaturization of the literary education which is conservative,dismembered.The literary education lacks the soul of the literature,the method of the literary appreciation and the training of the aesthetic abilities.Keywords:

The Point Is To Change It: Poetry and Criticism in the Continuing Present, Jerome McGann. University of Alabama Press, 2007. Professing Sincerity: Modern Lyric Poetry, Commercial Culture, and the Crisis in Reading, Susan B. Rosenbaum. University of Virginia Press, 2007. Songs of Ourselves: The Uses of Poetry in America, Joan Shelley Rubin. Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2007. The three books under review, all of which focus on poetry and attend in some way to American poetries of the twentieth century, enact in common a challenge to critical approaches that fail to take into account poetry's participation in its social world: poetry's meanings are inseparable from the circumstances of its production and circulation, its readers and reception history, its biographical encodings, and its political engagements. Their announced assumptions of reading as social act and poetry as social text could easily resonate as old news; after all, cultural studies has had considerable impact even on the relatively conservative field of poetry studies, despite its being in some ways still caught in New Criticism's wake. Yet in these skillful studies, which offer very different reading experiences and divergent perspectives on literary value, the social and cultural emphasis is news that stays news, taking fresh forms and yielding significant readings and reconceptualizations of literary history that challenge entrenched critical binaries. The three books share, too, a sense of urgency―a sense of poetry, poetry reading, and poetry criticism in crisis. To some extent each implicitly or explicitly blames traditional modernist studies or the high modernism on which it focused for the crisis; the history of modernism and modernism's legacies, then, are part of the terrain these works provocatively remap.

Edmund Wilson,one of the most significant American literary critics of the 20th century,advocates an aesthetic comeback of literary criticism to the society.This leading leitmotif of returning to life and art keeps recurring in a series of Wilson's works ranging from The Axel's Castle to To the Finland Station.Literary critics,he claims,should establish an interaction and interdependence among the artistic interpretation,the reading public and the society.Only by this approach can literary criticism better fulfill its mission and retain its vitality.

Affected by the thought ——Writings are for conveying truth,imagination in most works about Chinese children′s literature which emerged in the May Fourth period are inferior to that in the works of foreign children′s literature.With the impact of the contemporary multi-cultural factors,there is still lacking of imagination in the children′s literary creation,which more or less prevents the further development of Chinese children′s literature since the 1990s,though creation in children′s literary works has formed a new pluralist pattern in China gradually,and the poetic works full of imagination has increased.Therefore,it is an important task for the current children′s literary creation to hold up a poetic sky for children with imagination.

This essay presents and interprets the theoretical proposition that literary criticism demands cultural imagination from the relation between artistic imagination and cultural imagination, the relation between literary value measure and cultural imagination, the relation between literary criticism and cultural imagination and so on. It thinks that the cultural imagination is the social imagination that regards culture as resources in the globalization context, different from the general artistic imagination; In the literature of the present tense, the multiplicity of imagination and the ambiguity of value measure that engendered from it aspire after the meaningful literary criticism; Marxian criticism has always included the scientific cultural imagination. The contemporary literary criticism needs to go with the critical object. It not only should evaluate the cultural imagination in the literature, but also should criticize on the premise of the positive cultural imagination, and give people the ideal, the faith and the support of the metaphysics, thus not lose its duty of criticism.

Ou Yangxiu was a leading writer in the literary history of North Song Dynasty.He had promoted the movement of literature reform,and his idea of paying attention to the writing style had a great influence on the development of the Chinese literature,which could lead us to have a further understanding of the function and value of literature.Literature spreads and creates culture.Its essential value lies in its moral sentiment and art spirit.The world today is in an era of cultural conformity and full of new cultural concepts,which can be divided into the humanism culture and the rationalistic culture.If we say that Chinese culture express more about the humanism and rationalism,it's the culture that makes human more like human,on which the literature has a great influence.So,when we face the reality today,we should feel proud of our ancient culture,because the great spiritual fortune was gathered together by the literary force long before it had imperishable realistic meaning.

In pre-May-4th days, the development of literary conception in our country continued under the influence of modernity, a reflective and critical modern awareness. Owing to different receptions of modernity and miscellaneous effects of exotic perceptions of art and literature, modernity of literary conception was a different picture in the eyes of different persons. Some called for criticizing the feudal dynasty to develop a nation-based political-educational literature. In contrast to the former, some were objected to the political-educational tradition by advocating a pure literature as a relief to satisfy one’s desire for life, believing in the view of play by “self-discipline” and “he-discipline”. Some introduced “aestheticity”, taking literature as decribing human life in appreciating the beautiful. Some maintained the literary spirit of fighting, regarding literature as something “non-use for use”. And others called for using literature for leisure by giving the fullest display of its recreational function. Different as they were, all these literary views discussed “human life”. In fact, they offered different implications, which showed the different orientations and different aspects of modernity. They introduced great numbers of modern academic terms which were to become part of modern theory of literature in our country and continue to be used today.

What constitutes reading? This is the question William McKelvy asks in English Cult of Literature. Is it a theory of interpretation or a physical activity, a process determined by hermeneutic destiny or by paper, ink, hands, and eyes? McKelvy seeks to transform the nineteenth-century field of Religion and Literature into Reading and Religion, emphasizing both the material and the institutional contexts for each. In doing so, he hopes to recover the ways in which modern literary authority developed in dialogue with a politically reconfigured religious authority. The received wisdom has been that England is literary tradition was modernity's most promising religion because the established forms of Christianity, wounded in the Enlightenment, inevitably gave up their hold on the imagination and on the political sphere. Through a series of case studies and analysis of a diverse range of writing, this work gives life to a very different story, one that shows literature assuming a religious vocation in concert with an increasingly unencumbered freedom of religious confession and the making of a reading nation. In the process, the author shifts attention away from the idea of the literary critic in favor of considering the historic role of religious professionals in shaping and contesting the authority of print. Indebted to recent findings of book history and newer historiographies at odds with conventional secularization theory, this work makes an interdisciplinary contribution to revising the existing models for understanding change in Britain during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
